    I've only had their spaghetti noodles and I didn't like them too much. Cheesecake sounds good - I am kind of frightened of baking with alternative flours because my handful of experiences with them have been disastrous. I need to bite the bullet and try again one of these days My mom had this great idea to roast some chicken wings and bring three...

    I've never had the Tinkynada noodles before (they don't sell them around here). The only gluten-free lasagne noodles I've seen here are DeBoles. I like the ham idea though. Thanks!!

    My city puts on a festival every labor day weekend and this is the first year I noticed poutine... it was more popular than chicken on a stick. The friends I was with that night were absolutely horrified/intrigued by the phenom that is poutine. Man, do I love the Midwest and our cuisine.

    I stumbled over to this thread and saw poutine! It has made it's way to the midwest! I saw it at a local fair a few weeks ago and it is a hit here... I'm a newbie to the boards... so hello to all!

    I wish more people knew some of this. Celiac disease is not an allergy! But I must admit that I have said, at a restaurant, "I have a gluten allergy" or "I am allergic to wheat, rye, barley, and oats". I think people take "allergy" more seriously because the repercussion of, say, a peanut allergy are well known. But getting the word out there is always...

    My fiance's family is having a family reunion Saturday. I just found out yesterday from his mom. Knowing that there will be few, if no, options for me I am prepared to bring my own goodies. No problem there. BUT! I have to make a dish to pass. I was thinking chocolate garbanzo bean cake... but am kind of maxxed out on that because I made one last week...

    I get really bad anxiety after a glutening. I get shaky and what my fiance calls "crazy-eyed". Anxiety was actually the symptom my doctor saw that caused her to test for celiac, oddly enough.

    My mom often sends food items to my brother and sister in law in Australia. The rules constantly change. Sometimes peanut butter is okay to send. Other times, no. Same thing with, of all things, Ranch dressing. She is not sending anything illegal, but it is very hard to tell what is okay and what is not. I agree with the above poster, "hide" some...

    Kettle Brand Thai Spice chips... that was not a fun next morning... Also, "gluten free" mostacolli and red sauce from a local restaurant. I was sick for 2 weeks! Then of course my own airhead moments like dressing (I figured it couldn't be gluten free... boy was I wrong!) and Amy's corn crust pizza (not technically my fault... and I noticed before...

    summerteeth replied to Tim-n-VA's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    That is probably the least helpful thing to read. There are a lot of foods that one would not think gluten is in. Like salad dressing. That can be awfully ambiguous. And plain potato chips. Ugh. That is not a sufficient allergy statement, IMO.

    "Tough love is not an effective treatment for chronic illness." So succinct! I may have to use this response when certain members of my family make me feel like a hypochondriac. Also, I know how you feel with your in-laws. Unfortunately, some of my blood relatives are that way. My fiance and I were over at my aunt's house back in May and the ONLY...

    Ugh... not in Illinois then!

    I went to Utz's website and cannot find a store locator. I have never had this chips before but I think I have seen them somewhere way back when (but with so many different chip options I could be mistaken). I really want to try these, but are they online order only?

    I emailed them just now. I think it would be a really good idea for them to include a gluten free option. There are a lot of us out there, and I for one was a girl scout fifteen years ago (and the cookies were amazing). I remember last year having to say no to all of the little girls selling their cookies and it made me kind of sad (for them especially...

    I emailed Dr. Bronner's about their lemon lime lip balm (it's amazing, by the way) & in addition to replying in literally 5 minutes, this is what I got: Hello Monica, Thanks for writing. Yes, all our products are gluten free, including those you have listed below. Please let me know if I can be of further help. Take care, Erin Trudeau...

    That will definitely come in handy! I like to shop at Aldi but am kind of weary on some of the products... this will help clear some of those questions up. Thank you!!

    Yes, when I called I told the lady who answered I had celiac disease and it was very important that I got the gluten free pasta. She told me that I had the option of a salad as a side. I asked her which dressings were gluten free and she was unsure, so I said no side was necessary.

    Wow - after reading this, I realized that I went down a shoe size... I never realized that that could be from water weight lost after going gluten-free. Weird how you have an "epiphany moment" like that sometimes... And that I was urinating more often, too, after my diagnosis. It's weird how you don't think of these things that are so glaringly obvious...

    My fiance, my sister, and I decided we were going to order food out on Saturday. I don't usually do this because I am very weary of getting glutened, but we decided to celebrate because my sister was in town. The restaurant we ordered from boasted "gluten free garlic pasta and gluten free mostacoli in red sauce" (I saw this on my area's celiac support group...

    I'm actually from northern Illinois (just south of Beloit, WI), but my parents have a place in Hazelhurst & we go to Hayward a lot (Grandma Ferdon's is awesome). Let me just say you Wisconsinites have much better gluten-free shopping than we do here (unless I trek to Chicago). -- Monica

    I have to say... I read what you were going through and this upset me so much, and my fiance (someone who does not have celiac disease) was also upset about this. I am so glad that you stood up, said something, and got your point across. CONGRATULATIONS!

    Like in Harvard?

    Anyone in north central IL? Maybe Rockford, DeKalb, Sterling... even Beloit, WI?

    Ugh... stuff like this makes me upset. I was a waitress when I was 18. I had no clue what celiac disease was... but I remember more than one patron that had cited celiac disease (also Crohn's, soy allergies, and corn allergies). I was more than happy to run back and forth to help them out because I figured that was my job - I was getting paid to make sure...

    Ooh, good to know about the cocoa. I really like the tellicherry black pepper and the green goddess dressing mix.
